- boomskats 3y agoIn the least snarky way possible - so that you can avoid having to host a full instance of vscode on your linux server.
- ghuntley 3y agoBecause of https://ghuntley.com/fracture https://ghuntley.com/fracture - same problem applies that only official builds can access marketplace etc. (I use code-server day to day but it’s a problem. No real solution. Suggest folks look at https://GitHub.com/coder/coder https://GitHub.com/coder/coder to provision environments w/code-server btw)
- WorldMaker 3y agoYou can use vscode.dev to achieve something very similar: - Run a vscode-server on your server: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/vscode-server https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/vscode-server - Connect (tunnel) to that code-server from vscode.dev using the Remote Development extension One small reason to do it with two steps like that as opposed to a single "box" of coder/code-server is that you get Microsoft hosting the bandwidth multiple megabytes of files to download and a reliable single PWA to install for however many linux servers you want to remote develop on.
